The Land: Dorvinia is a
small, mountainous domain north of Barovia and northeast of Borca. Mr. Gries, a ragged peak encircled by a ring of mist, lies
in the center of the land. Evergreen forests cloak the valleys.
Dorvinia boasts three riverside villages: Lechberg, Ilvin, and Vor Ziyden. The
Dilisnya family estate occupies the Doldak heights just north of Lechberg. Lechberg has 5,500 people, Ilvin 4,000 and Vor
Ziyden 1,000.
The Folk: The people have
a sullen and resigned air about them. Those on lower rungs of the social ladder can't afford to pay bribes and never will
be allowed to know the right people. The culture level of this land is a post-medieval setting.
The Lord: Ivan Dilisnya rules
this land. He is the distant cousin of Ivana Boritsi. Natives of Dorvinia believe their ruler is mad.
Dorvinia has no formal police force or legal system. If you want muscle or justice,
you have to buy it. Bribes, in fact, are required for every political favor, be it simple information, free passage on the
roads, or keeping enough of your own crops to feed your children. Power means knowing the right people and serving them well
-- but not too well. "Middle management" continually changes as one faction wipes out another. No one dares lay a hand on
Dilisnya, however. Those who have tried it have perished in their sleep.
